Copy that. Thx 4 the headsup.
Mighty signups! The event requesters are THRILLED. That said, I’ve raised the ticket cap and we’ll need to figure out the 20 comped passes. There are folks trampling in from afar, including CenCal, and several of us will cede our free passes and purchase using the 50% off code. Please consider sharing the love. As we get closer and have hard numbers, will work it out. As ever, thx 4 being epic, GGG!
I’m so stoked, Sha Sha fixed my profile and Stacy upper the cap and I got in! Yay, this is going to be so rad! So many pilots!!!
Woohoo! Captain Rex coming aboard!
The link to the 50% discount is still valid and for ease of access the event requester just added a new discount code: CarrierCon50Off. “Please share that amongst your group. Anyone who uses the code will have access to 50% off our General Day Pass ticket!”
David and I will buy our tickets.
I’m tentatively in, and I will purchase my own ticket.
Hey GGG,
We will be splitting the 20 comp tickets with Central California Garrison – 10 GGG / 10 CCG .
Priority will be given to those that can help set up, support GGG most of the Day and help break down / clean up.
All additional members, handlers, photographers would need to purchase a pass to the convention at 50% off.
Thanks
I purchased a pass to help free up more passes for others. Happy to help with set-up and breakdown. I’m free all day for this event.
Thanks to those who have already purchased passes and also who volunteered to set up, tear down, fly the table, bring/donate things, be on the panel, etc. We’re working on the list for the 20 comps, splitting with the CCG.
Please stay tuned and in the meantime, the forum link to the 50% discount is valid and the event requester added a discount code: CarrierCon50Off. All for a mighty cause:
Let me know if you need help with set-up, and possibly for tear down as well. Aside from trooping, I’d be happy to spend some time doing booth duty in by TIE reserve.
